NEW This Year... Spelling Bee Rules1 Each team will consist of three members. All
teams should have a designated speller who will write the response on the white board.
2 The Pronouncer will pronounce the word, give the definition of the word, use it in a sentence, give the language of origin, and pronounce the word once more.
3 Each team will have 30 seconds to spell the word by writing it on the white board distributed to each team at the beginning of the round. The 30 seconds will begin when the pronouncer has finished. The timekeeper will give a warning when 10 seconds remain.
4 Team members may collaborate on the spelling of a word.
5 Team members may ask to have a word pronounced another time during the 30 seconds by raising the bee wand provided, though the clock will not stop.
6 If a team completes their word before the 30 seconds is up the designated speller will raise his or her hand.
7 Any team that does not hold up the white board HIGH when the judges call for time will be eliminated. Any team continuing to write after time is called or attempting to change the word as written on the slate will be disqualified.
8 Penmanship counts! If the word is illegible or if letters are ambiguous, the word will be treated as misspelled.
9 Do not erase your slate until you have been told whether your spelling is correct. If a team erases its word too soon they may be disqualified. If a team attempts to rewrite the word on the slate, the team will be disqualified. If you have spelled the word correctly and the judges notify you of this you may erase and prepare for the next word.
J If you have spelled the word incorrectly, please drape one of your flags marked with an X over the front of your table and prepare for the next word. Upon missing the spelling of two words, a team is eliminated from the round.
K The team left after all others in a particular round have been eliminated is declared the winner of that round, and will go on to compete in the Championship Round. Only one team from each round may participate in the Championship Round
L In the event that all teams in a round are eliminated at the same time by a single word, additional words will be added until just one team remains.
M Spelling words are chosen from various sources.
N Words will be pronounced according to the diacritical markings in Webster’s Third New International Dictionary (1993), the official Bee dictionary. These procedures and official rules will govern at the spelling bee. Any disputes will be resolved by the judges. There will be no appeals.

What’s all the Buzz about? By participating in the IPEI Spelling Bee, you have chosen to ‘bee” a part of the buzz. Thank you! All funds raised at the IPEI Adult Spelling Bee support IPEI’s grants programs that help ICSD teachers engage students and enhance education, sparking student learning by connecting the schools with our diverse and talented community.
More about IPEI grants:IPEI supports educators with innovative ideas that energize the curriculum and foster authentic learning experiences that reach all students. Our programs bring a diverse range of community resources into the classroom, stretching students’ imaginations, increasing engagement, and enhancing education. IPEI currently has three distinct grant programs to help teachers reach far:
Teacher Grants support ICSD teachers who have ideas for educational projects that involve community members inside and outside ICSD classrooms and directly involve and/or benefit student learning. Applications are accepted each fall for grants up to $1,500 each.
Red and Gold Grants are one-time grants of up to $500 for classroom and/or school projects developed by ICSD teachers, staff, students or community members offered four times per year. Funds are granted to strengthen and enrich activities that fall outside the criteria of IPEI’s Teacher Grants program.
Connecting Classrooms Grants of up to $10,000 fund large-scale projects that enhance student engagement and support learning consistent with school and district goals. ICSD staff are encouraged to develop partnerships between teachers within a school, across grade levels and/or between schools. The grants are designed to encourage innovative thinking, engage students, and increase the sense of community between groups of teachers and students.
“Thank you for your continued support of quality education in our district. Your efforts in fundraising for, and administration of IPEI grants have an immense impact on the positive growth of our students and community. IPEI is a welcome support to our daily efforts to impart high quality learning.”–Samuel Trechter, teacher, Belle Sherman and Caroline Elementary Schools Sparks
